Jamaal Williams - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams had a heavy workload last week but struggled to get anything going against a stout Titans defensive front.

Derek Carr - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr projects as a low-range QB2 entering Week 2.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) has not practiced this week, and will have one more chance on Friday to get on the practice field before Sunday's season opener against Tennessee.

Jamaal Williams Has RB1 Upside In Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams broke fantasy football last season, running for 1,066 yards and a league-leading 17 rushing touchdowns in what was by far the best season of his six-year career.
